It’s not just Raging Stallion, of course — movies like Titan’s Folsom Filth, Hot House’s Justice and, most recently, StagHomme’s Armed have been steadily upping the ante. Someone at Raging Stallion leaked us the trailer this morning and we were more than a little aroused — in part because after years of watching two jocks fuck in a locker-room, we’ve got some actual drama. Real sex, if we remember correctly, isn’t all flowers and bunnies: events that have gone down in our own bedrooms have sometimes been downright disturbing!

There was a trickle of controversy when the original photos started appearing, but the trailer should fan the flames of hand-wringing gays like nothing since William Friedkin’s Cruising in the early 80s. In fact, now that Raging Stallion has taken porn filmmaking to such over-the-top levels, maybe they should make THAT into a porn.

I’m far from squeamish and I like pushing the boundaries of my sexuality but death is kind of a turn off. But this move by Raging Stallion is far from surprising; it’s simply another example of consumers being desensitized to televised violence. For myself, I grew up in a time and place where it wasn’t okay to go to the city parks because dead bodies kept turning up, resulting from the endemic gang wars and mafia hits . When I’m looking to stroke one off I don’t want to see beautiful men killing each other, it just hits too close to home.

I'm not one for bragging about intellectual accomplishments (it's something I learned from, you know, graduating with honors from Brown University), but Conner Habib is justifiably excited about his blurb in a book written by Carl Sagan's son.
